Why is CRJ so cheap? I have yet to due my DD, but…
I waded through the detritus, a quick review of relevant posts (must confirm) over the past 3 weeks (all taken at face value, my statements in italics):
CRJ is an exploration company that is dabbling in production
4M+ oz gold (high/low grade?)
New debt facility – no need for dilution via PP
Mining cost/oz over $1000
market cap is less than the cost of the mill
Oz produced per year less that 50,000
Only 10% yearly growth
Need to generate institutional investor interest
Junior golds are way oversold, many micro-caps will not survive without dilutive financing
PM stocks on the rebound
Takeover/buyout in the works?
Principle shareholders aren’t exchanging options (my opinion, don’t need to – any takeout agreement will include the right to cash in options)
A lot of unknowns for me still. No guarantees but the fundamentals suggest CRJ is a buy, but at what price, given the fear on this BB of a buyout. How much further before we see bottom? Will purchaser offer a 70% premium, or base it on Book Value?
Price / Book Value is where you will find the degree that gold and silver miners are selling for less than their tangible value.
The mining sector, by every metric known to stock analysts, gurus and the rest of us, is now selling at a discount - an enormous discount - to the underlying product of their business which is, of course, mining gold and silver. Prices of mining shares are quite literally at lows seen maybe 5 times, if that, in the past 100 years.

Will the rebound in PM stocks take CRJ back to $2.40 we saw on Feb 2011?
What have I missed?
Later…must do more DD
